These Mining Stocks Have Potential In The Market
Many mining stocks have pulled back as vaccine news has slowed down metal prices. For instance, many analysts believed that the price of gold wouldn’t fall under $1,850, and look at it now. As of November 30th, gold prices are still under $1,800. The world economies are in a state of volatility at the moment. Nobody knows when things can begin to recover. In many places, lockdown is starting up again due to increasing COVID-19 cases. But the factor countering that is the vaccine news, which hurts the price of many precious metals.
The election plays a factor in all of this too, as metal prices could go up after the inauguration. Jobless reports, stimulus, so many things are affecting the cost of mining stocks. On the day of the 30th prices have been able to stay rather stable as the stock market falls. In general, mining stocks have been a mixed bag. Some analysts think gold will shoot over $2000 in 2021, others don’t. But in 2020, many precious metals are still at big high points that have not been seen for years. Let’s take a look at four mining stocks that have potential going into December.
